Chapter 375 Alexchange
Lin Jinrong woke up from his sleep and only felt that his whole body seemed to have been run over by a carriage. With a slight movement, he could hear the click of the neck and waist bones. Both hands and two legs are so sore and heavy that they can hardly lift them. She took a gentle breath, wrapped around the thin blanket on her body, half-opened her eyes and looked at the situation in the room.
The room is dark, and the heat of the charcoal fire is mixed with the fragrance of white sandalwood, which makes people lazy and relaxed. Mrs. Lu half leaned on the couch, holding a string of rosary beads in her hand, and she lowered her eyes and chanted the scriptures inaudiblely. Su Xin and Mother Sha stood aside with their hands down, half drooping their eyes, and looked drowsy.
Lin Jinrong got up, gently walked to Mother Sha to stand still, and whispered, "M Mother, what time is it? Why didn't the old lady call me when she woke up?
Msard Sha whispered, "It's already right. The old lady said that you worked hard and didn't let me call you. Are you hungry? Because there are many people and things, now the big kitchen is no longer unified to provide meals on time, and it is all on the go. The old lady's diet is made by the small kitchen. She has already used it. It was left for you on the stove. Did the old slave send it to you?
Seeing Mrs. Lu like this, Lin Jinrong probably won't stop for a short time, so he said, "I'll go to the east wing to eat."
Mother Sha called someone to cook and arrange Lin Jinrong's meal without mentioning it. Lin Jinrong stood for a moment, silently saluted Mrs. Lu, and went to the east wing.
Before Yilang woke up, Pan and Douer sat in front of the cradle and peeled chestnuts. Shuangfu, Shuangquan and Cherry were not seen alone. Lin Jinrong grabbed a chestnut from the bowl and fed it to his mouth: "Are you going to make chestnut cake?"
Douer said, "Looking at this, all the meals have been disrupted. Maybe there will be a sudden visit again, and there will be nothing good in the big kitchen. There is a small kitchen in Rongjingju, and she just makes some fresh cakes by herself. Grandma doesn't care whether it's a vigil, busy work, or at the bottom when she is hungry.
"Dou'er is the most careful." Lin Jinrong praised her, asked Yilang about his diet and living today, and then asked, "Where are the cherries and Shuangquan?"
Douer said, "Go to our yard to sort out the luggage brought back from Beijing. Cherry said that some valuables have to be quickly made and locked in grandma's private warehouse. The gifts given to each house should also be picked up as soon as possible. However, Cherry listened to Lin Jinrong's words to Tao's words that he was too busy to pack up, so he took advantage of the gap to pack up quickly.
Seeing that they are very cautious and organized, Lin Jinrong is very down-to-earth: "Very good. How is the news from outside? Fangzhu and Chunya didn't let people in to report the news? She calculated that the people on the other side of the Lu family's old house should also arrive.
Douer said, "Sister Chunya came in earlier and said that the eldest wife left her in-laws for dinner, and the outside was almost arranged."
"Second grandma, I will bring you a meal." Huan'er came in with a big food box, put her hands and feet sharp, and respectfully invited Lin Jinrong to eat. Although it was all vegetarian dishes, it was also exquisite and neatly made. Lin Jinrong was full of heart to feed himself. He gave the rest of the food to Pan's and beans, and gave Huan'er a piece of money, and asked her to call the cherries back to listen to it.
After washing his hands and returning to Mrs. Lu's room, Mrs. Lu was still chanting with her eyes closed. Lin Jinrong found a stool to sit down and accompany her. The servant of the lanterns walked along the corridor as it became darker and darker. The white lanterns lit up one by one, making the room full of plain light.
Cherry walked in briskly and whispered close to Lin Jinrong's ear, "Grandma, the old clan members are all here. Madam, please go out."
Lin Jinrong looked at Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu's eyes, which were only half drooping, were completely closed at this time. The sound of chanting scriptures was so low that it could hardly be heard, and her loose skin and the corners of her drooping lips looked extremely sad. Lin Jinrong didn't know how much Mrs. Lu knew about what was happening to the outside world, but it was really pitiful to see Mrs. Lu at this moment. She couldn't bear to disturb her, but she finally summoned up the courage to salute: "Grandma..."
The rosary in Mrs. Lu's hand turned quickly. When she opened her eyes, she looked at her and sighed slightly: "Go!"
"The granddaughter-in-law will come back as soon as possible to accompany her grandmother." Lin Jinrong wanted to tell her what he was doing here, but he changed his mind and bowed his knees and retreated.
Mrs. Lu looked at her back, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. She closed her eyes and continued to chant.
Lin Jinrong walked all the way. The air was cold and tidal. The bluestone road and the corridor were full of water stains. The white lanterns swayed with the wind, and the sound of monks chanting scriptures and boiling voices came from the distance, which was cold and lively.
Lin Jinrong walked outside the main hall. As soon as he stepped on the Ruyi stack, he heard Lu Jianzhong's sobbing and crying from inside, and occasionally inserted a few words. His tone was sad and very appropriate. He just finished crying there, and Lin Yuzhen and Tu also began to cry. Then, Lu Jiao and Lu Jing and others also began to cry, crying.
Lin Jinrong entered the main hall, but seeing the bright lights in the room, the four most prestigious elders of the Lu family sat in turn and were persuading Lu Jianzhong and others. Lv was also there, leaning crookedly on Su Jin's body, looking weak and sickly and struggling to support. There were many Lu Jing, Kang, Yuan Lang and Haolang, all of whom were crying, so they also cried and sad, and silently walked to the middle of Lv and Kang to stand. As soon as he stood still, Lu Jing looked back at her. Lin Jinrong only thought that he was not optimistic and stopped crying. Lin Yuzhen wiped her tears and said, "Lao San, what did your father explain to you last night? While the clan is here, you can get your father's wish as soon as possible.
There is a short silence in the room.
The candlelight swayed, making everyone's faces bright and dark.
Lin Jinrong saw clearly that the elders of the clans sitting on the top looked strict and upright and selfless. Lu Jianzhong and his wife both half lowered their eyes and couldn't see clearly. Lin Yuzhen's eyes flashed brightly. Lu Jianjian's eyebrows were flickering, half hesitant and half sad. Tu was a little uneasy and twisted the handkerchief in his hand.
The small generation has their ears up.
The leading generation is one generation older than Mr. Lu. Lu Yan, who wants to call his grandfather, coughed low and said tremblingly, "Lao San, there are no outsiders here. Don't worry about it."
Lu Zhu established took out the letter from his arms, made a clear statement of his previous situation, and handed it to his grandfather: "Uncle and grandfather, please ask some elders to check it. Is this paint intact? Is it my father's private seal stamped on the top?"
The old ancestor took it over and squinted at the candlelight and looked left and right, but did not answer immediately. He handed him another Lu Yan on the left to call his grandfather, the clan old man named Lu Chong: "Big nephew... do you think so?"
Lu Chong also looked left and right, and didn't say anything for a long time. On the other side, the two younger elders had been waiting for the two of them to hand over, but they had never waited. One of them, Lu Yan, called his third uncle and called Lu Ling, was a little unhappy and said, "Is I can see it. If your eyes are not good, bring it to me!"
Another Lu Yan wanted to call his uncle, and called Lu Biao and said, "It's in duplicate. Please ask your uncle and eldest brother to open the box and take out the comparison."
Seeing this, Lin Jinrong couldn't help thinking that these four people were not iron-plate, but because the old father-in-law was the oldest because of his elders... He was the most respected and spoke with great weight; the Lu Chong family was the most prosperous and echoed... So these two were usually the most shameful in the clan. Even Mr. Lu mainly handed over the box to the two of them, and the other two were regarded as witnesses.
The grandfather stared at Lu Ling and Lu Biao discontentedly, and did not immediately make a clear statement. He only asked Lu Jianzhong and Lu Jian, "Where is your mother? Why don't you invite her out and listen to her together?"
When Lu Jian was neutral, he burst into tears again. He beat his chest and suddenly said, "My mother is too sad. How can she stand it? I said to slow down. When she gets better, the eldest brother and several nephews outside will come back... But..." At this point, he didn't say anything, but just wiped his tears hard. Anyway, he cares about the overall situation the most, regardless of the elderly, and can't wait to divide the family property between the big house and the third room.
Lin Yuzhen snorted coldly in disdain.
Lu established said with a pale face, "I'm just following my father's last words. I would also like to ask all the elders to fulfill my filial piety. After a word, I bowed deeply.
Lin Yuzhen also came forward and saluted... She wiped her tears and said, "Uncle and grandfather, my father-in-law went in a hurry and didn't have time to say many words to us. As juniors, we all want to do this funeral in a lively way, but we are afraid that our father-in-law has other arrangements. We don't know the reason and disobeyed his last wish. Isn't that a big unfilial piety? How can you feel at ease! How can you be worthy of him?"
The ancestor's eyes flashed, and he hesitated to look at Lu Chong, and then looked at Lu Jianzhong, um a few times.
Lin Yuzhen was extremely irritable and said, "Thank you for taking care of my old man. I don't know which elder has the letter in?" The meaning of the words is that they are just helping to manage things. How can there be no reason that the master is reluctant to take it out when he wants it?
Lu Zhuan suddenly changed his face and wanted to take back his letter from Lu Chong's hand. He stuck his neck and said, "Look at this, my uncle and uncle don't believe me. Then it's up to me to open this letter. Whether it's my father's handwriting or not, everyone will know as soon as they see it and hear it. After saying that, I really want to tear up the letter.
Lu Chong hurriedly said, "Three nephew, what are you angry about? When did I say I didn't believe you?"
Lu Jian said angrily, "You are highly respected elders, yes or no, it's just one sentence. Isn't such an attitude that you don't believe me?"
Lin Jinrong hurried forward and advised, "Uncle, please calm down. Several elders are also cautious for everyone's sake."
The old ancestor snorted twice and said, "Look, I'm just afraid that you will be sad. I want to wait until you get over here. Let's talk about it coldly. Now it's not mine. Can I profit from it? Forget it, I don't care about your younger generation. Nephew, just take it out."
Lu Chong waved his hand, and a sling was holding a yellow pear wooden box that was one foot long and five inches wide, with a brass lock.
"-watch the word of money, if you are interested in it--"——
Regarding the question of whether the second house should compete with the big house, and whether there is capital and the big house, I discussed it with my book friends in the group in the morning. Now I will summarize it for you. The reasons are as follows: The premise is that this is not a brother and brother, hello, hello, everyone's article.
First, although the big house is an official, what about the second house? They are brothers, not ordinary white clothes to officials, and there is no such thing as saying that the people don't fight with officials. In daily life, brothers and sisters are not the most promising. Other brothers and sisters have to hold him and dare not provoke him. On the contrary, they have more reasonable high requirements.
II. Lu Jianzhong and Lin Yuzhen said that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, and the discord between brothers is a difficult thing in itself. Compared with the two-bedroom people, because the big house became an official... pays more attention to style reviews and reputation, and the second-bedroom house has no such scruples. Dafang Mingli doesn't dare to do anything about the second room. At most, he ignores the second room when he has something to ask for, and others may say that he will die.
Three, two-bedroom cooperation is a win-win situation. If the big house wants to go further, it is inseparable from the support of money. The second house can also rely on the big house to expand the business. But if they can't cooperate, the second house does not have to rely on the big house to live a good life. He can use money to pave another way for himself. At the same time, they can also cultivate the next generation by themselves, such as Yuanlang and Haolang. Not all rich people can become rich people because there is someone in the family who is an official. I won't give this as an example. It's too much.
Four, the second room thinks that the hard work is high, and there is nothing in the face. The big house takes up all the benefits and face, and still despises them. He was raised by the same parents, why can't he fight? Why do you always make the big house proud? Don't offend the big house. The advantage is that when you encounter something that the big house can solve, you can ask for it, accept Lin Yuzhen's teasing, get help, and when you encounter something that the big house can't solve, you still need to find someone else. The disadvantage is that you give up the money in your hand, and rely To sum up, Erfang believes that holding it in his hand is real, and the rest is virtual, especially in front of people like Lin Yuzhen.
So, this plot is not common in life. Most brothers and sisters are very harmonious and friendly. Hello, everyone is fine, but for this, there are many people who don't get along with each other. The rich want to be richer, and the poor complain: "Your conditions are so good, why do you come to fight with me? Most of the assets left by my parents are still earned by me. Why? It's normal not to argue, it's normal.
Therefore, I don't think this plot is unreasonable, but I don't think the book lovers with opposite opinions are unreasonable. Thank you for your messages.
